Finally caught up on the gag reel and the HILARIOUS (I mean, extremely serious) behind the scenes doco. That has totally made my day. Misha's humour is spot on (and clever!). Grade A crack! The cast and crew are such great sports.

I know they've been posted everywhere, but here they are again incase you haven't seen them. No doubt there will be gifs ALL OVER tumblr! SO SO gifable!

BEST!

Haha - just found out that some fans thought the doco was serious. I CAN'T EVEN WITH THAT!

I seriously don't know what's funnier--Misha's documentary or the fact that some people didn't get it. XDD What they should really be confused about is the fact that Misha's in it at all, because wait, didn't he get stabbed by an angel a few years ago??

The mockumentary was side-splitting - "it's not a wig!" It really was a brilliant thing for them to do for the fans. I think the idiots who thought parts of it were real have finally realised it was an extended joke. I'm guessing they were really young because otherwise, they make Forrest Gump look highly intelligent, and it doesn't bear thinking about that people that stupid have internet access.

There was a bit in the gag reel that made me laugh so hard I actually started to choke (I'll semi blame the flu). They were talking to Garth who said he was 'bitten in the process', and Jared asking if process was Tennesseean for his taint then Jensen fumbling over what and where a taint is. I almost busted a gut. I'm wondering how many people's heads that line flew over.

Yeah, I can only think they don't know the show so well - or Misha's sense of humour. Maybe that some actors actually DO act like that (douche!Jared at least) it looked just a little too real.

Hehe - yes! That section in the gag reel was hilarious. I can't believe they were discussing that! (though nothing really surprises me with these guys!) The thing I DID have to look up was Chinese chair meant…

Isn't it such a fabulous treat?? The latest gag reel *and* a mockumentary on the same weekend.. be still my heart. And the fact that some die hard Misha minions think it's real just... what, Jared really walks around with 2 people carrying mirrors in front of him all day??? I can't BREATHE for laughing so hard.

Here's the thing for me and why I think this show has survived for 10 years despite it's ups and downs - these guys are the genuine article.

This isn't just a day of everyone goofing off, this was meticulously planned and EVERYONE was in on it, everyone gave their all to make a short film sending themselves up in the most hilarious ways, ways that took time to think out and research, plan and plot and edit and it just shines with the genuine joy they have making the show.

It's even more hilarious to think anyone took any part of this seriously - although perhaps it was out of context? Phhhht... can't think of a bit of it that could be taken out of context and still be serious, but maybe I'm old, well past the days of teenage angst, and I just have that sort of devious brain, so there's that.

Even though I'm not as adoring of the show I once was, I still adore these people who take the time to put something like this together, yeah, I'm sure they had fun doing it, but like everything else, that joy when shared goes around the world and comes back a hundred fold and I hope they know how much it's meant to fandom to be able to share with them.

Very much so. I think it is crucial for why it has survived for so long. And as someone pointed out (somewhere) the make up lady is the same one from the S1 "Day in the Life of". My understanding is that many of the original crew are still there and it would be this cohesiveness that has also helped it maintain that genuine feel.

this was meticulously planned and EVERYONE was in on it,

This. It looks adhoc, but it's been beautifully planned - right up to the explosion. The whole thing has a story arc! AND characters. I love how Misha has picked up on all the little nuances - right down to Jared writing his own dialogue. It's wonderfully observed and not only makes a statement about everything that their set isn't, but also everything fans know the set isn't (if that's makes the slightest bit of sense). I also love how everyone embraced making fun of themselves. Jared looking in those mirrors, Jensen squealing and running holding the dog, even Carver acting like he has no control over his cast…. SO MUCH FUN!

It's even more hilarious to think anyone took any part of this seriously

My understanding is there have been a couple of reactions that were like "I hope that isn't true, Misha is treated so badly…". I haven't seen the brunt of it all but I've since heard there some wank out there (and I mean.. really?! what can't this fandom find to wank about?!). But yeah - to think for a minute it was in any way real is pretty hilarious in itself.

that joy when shared goes around the world and comes back a hundred fold and I hope they know how much it's meant to fandom to be able to share with them.

Amen! There's so much joy. And actually, having done GISHWHES this year, I've discovered that Misha is very much about joy. He's about not taking yourself too seriously and spreading smiles and love. I think this mockumentary is a great reflection of that.

I also love that the term mockumentary refers to a "mock" documentary - but in this case it works because of all the damn mocking that goes on in it. They mock themselves, the industry and even fans. It's perfect. I'll be high on this for a while I think. :))

I adore the gag reels! Every year I get more and more excited to see them and this years didn't disappoint! So many gems.

The mockumentary was perfect - and I mean perfect in every way! I love how everyone joined in, how everyone was willing to laugh at themselves and just have fun with it. It says so much about what it's really like on set and I guess that's kind of the point - right?

The only thing this is that now I want more mockumenary! I feel like I could get just as excited (if not more) about it as the gag reel if we had one every dvd release (either a continuation of this universe or new ones directed/written by a fresh person).

Maybe I'm getting a little overexcited here, but I really dug that documentary!

I want more mockumentary too! I absolutely loved it! It was brilliantly conceived and I love that they all joined in. It really does show how much fun they have on set- and the kind of people they are.

Hey, I am so sorry to hear you were having such a bad day (hope things have picked up now).

I glad this was a pick-me-up. :)) And I will never get how anyone thought this was real for one moment. I actually read a comment that said - I didn't realise it was fake until the end. I mean...REALLY?! Haha...
